Wembley Park

Famous for the football stadium, Wembley Park has been a leisure destination since early in the 20th Century. Over the past decade, the 87-acre site has been comprehensively redeveloped by investor-developer Quintain, who have added significant retail and residential elements to the existing mix of uses.

Quintain’s core business is PRS (private rental sector) housing, so they sought assistance from Opera to help define the strategy to deliver the retail component.

Opera are appointed to work as part of Quintain’s development team, helping to challenge the initial retail development programme, standards, and specification with the aim of maximising the financial and placemaking value of the project. Opera advise on leasing and placemaking, and have introduced a range of control systems and processes. Opera has recently project managed a series of critical meanwhile projects in advance of managing the retail delivery of over 51 incoming retail tenants, due to be open and trading between 2019 and 2021.
